Job description

BNY is seeking a Vice President, Software Engineering to lead high-impact teams. This role encompasses end-to-end delivery ownership, elevating engineering standards, nurturing talent, and collaborating closely with product and business stakeholders. The aim is to create secure, resilient, and scalable systems. This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on leader who excels in agile environments and transforms complex business challenges into elegant, dependable solutions.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

  • Lead and develop inclusive, high-performing engineering teams; set clear objectives, coach talent, and foster succession planning.
  • Own end-to-end delivery for critical software: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and reliability.
  • Raise engineering excellence and resilience: best practices and automation across code, testing, microservices/APIs, performance, and infrastructure; secure-by-design with threat modeling, logging/monitoring, incident playbooks, and disaster recovery.
  • Partner with product, design, and operations to translate outcomes into measurable technical plans; guide architecture modernization, integrations, cloud/container adoption, and technical debt remediation.
  • Represent engineering in program reviews and governance forums; ensure compliance, risk management, and operational excellence-aligned to BNY’s principles and strategic pillars.

Requirements

  • Proven leadership of software engineering teams building distributed systems and microservices in agile environments (Scrum/Kanban).
  • Deep Java experience (Spring), architectural patterns for scalable, observable, testable systems; strong API design.
  • Strong DevOps practices: CI/CD (e.g., GitLab), automated testing (JUnit/Spock), code reviews, telemetry/observability (Splunk, AppDynamics), containers (Docker), and cloud.
  • Hands-on AI development using modern tools and IDEs (e.g., Windsurf) and experience integrating AI into product workflows.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder influence; ability to simplify complexity, make evidence-based decisions and drive continuous improvement.
  • Corporate Actions domain experience is strongly preferred.
  • Groovy/Spock and JavaScript/TypeScript with Angular for full-stack contexts preferred
  • Financial services background with risk and controls in regulated environments preferred

How We Work

  • Agile (Scrum/Kanban) tailored by teams for flow and outcomes; full product lifecycle ownership (build, test, deploy, monitor, iterate); growth mindset with continuous learning and knowledge sharing.
  • Code: Java 17/21 (Spring, Maven), Groovy, JavaScript/TypeScript (Angular)
  • Testing: JUnit, Spock
  • Architecture: Microservices
  • Deployment: Private Cloud (VMs/containers)
  • Tooling: GitLab (git and CI/CD), IntelliJ, Windsurf, Docker, Splunk, AppDynamics
